"convert to meters"? You need to have a cache in EPSG:4326 if the client requests EPSG:4326, otherwise the images will look fuzzy regardless of the configured resolution.

Please provide your MapProxy configuration and some log output from `mapproxy-util serve-develop` (requests your client and MapProxy made).
